For over three years now we’ve been teased with the release of a documentary about the past thirty years of Melbourne graffiti and street art – Children Of The Iron Snake.
The first we saw of it was the above preview trailer below, plus a cut down unfinished version was shown at the There’s More event that we helped put on.
Created by Alex MacBeth and Miriam Hison, the documentary “Charts the development of the Melbourne street art scene, Children of the Iron Snake looks at the last thirty years and tracks the journey of graffiti from railway junctions at night to festivals, abandoned factories, rooftops, drains and galleries. Comprising interviews with over 15 artists, as well as criminologists, anti-graffiti activists, and politicians, the film offers a in-depth look at one of the biggest art movements of our time.
Now, the directors and creators of Children Of The Iron Snake have released it worldwide, finished and completed on their website – and you can watch it all over there!
Check it out on their site now (no embed available, alas), and see it for yourself – this is a great documentary and well worth the watching!!
